RACKET STORE!
THE GREAT
Bargain House
OF

Cash and fair dealing, and strictly one price to all
complete our motto. Undersell everybody is a
combination that will stand the test. This little
master cash moves everything, but few know how
to use it. Credit moves nothing, buys nothing but
experience, and that is something no one ever
boasts over, especially when the sheriff is to figure
in the matter, which is quite often. We use this
little cash knife and have cut prices to death. Try
the cash grip and you will have nothing to regret.

We have buyers always in the New York Market,
with the cash in hand, waiting and watching every
house on the road to ruin by the credit custom.

is a trial, and 1 will convince you. This week I

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.
We, the undersigned citizens of Forsyth
and adjoining counties, having each pur-
chased of the statesmen of the Wrought
Iron Range Company, of St. Louis, Mo-,
one Of their celebrated Home Comfort
Cooking Ranges, take pleasure in recon-
mending them to our friends and neigh
bors. Having given them a fair trial, we
pronounce them a grand success and in
every respect as good as represented by
the statesmen. We are perfectly satisfied
with our purchase. We believe them to
be superior in every way to cast iron
stoves and in the long run much the
cheapest. In addition to their good
baking qualities and economy Of fuel,
they furnish the greatest abundance of
hot water, which is a very great conven-
fence. In conclusion will say, buy a
Home Comfort Range and we will guar
antee you will not regret the purchase.
Very respectfully,

The burning Up Of y Dead Member OF
the Royal House OF Slam.
! The cremation Of the body Of Siamese
I Prince at Bangkok is thus described by the
[ Pail Mall Gdzetts' The King entered the
phramane about five o'clock amid much
trumpeting and surrounded by big re-
tlnue. lie bowed TO the dais and prayed,
then assembled the steps and entered the
Enclosure, aud amid the loud chanting and
tomtoming of the kowtowing priests be
fred the pile beneath the urn and again
prayed. He descended and departed.
Then the Princes entered the inclosure and
performed their obsequies, and then fol-
lowed the native mobiles, among whom we
found ourselves, On the dais around the
urn was kind of shelf, on which were
piled innumerable tapers made OF sandal
wood, frankincense and wax. Each per-
son on entering lit number of these ana
showed them under the urn, which, by the
same token, was not much bigger than
decent-sized pot. How they managed to
stow the rem aims in it | do not know. The
abominable smell Of frizzling human flesh
that spluttered and spat in the pot, which
the aromatic fumes Of the sandal and
frankincense failed to disguise, permeat-
ed the building and drove us forth.
When the King had performed his obse-
quires he adjourned to a pavilion, where
he held an audience. He seated himself
on a kind of balcony, and several of his
little children were brought to him. On
another balcony on his right the numer-
Gus Princes Of royal blood seated them
selves. The body Of the pavilion was set
apart for the mobiles, ministers, and "dis-
tinguished foreigners" some Of whom
were ladies' When his Majesty had sat
for a time in silence he suddenly produced
a large bag, full of green lines, each OF
which contained small silver coin in its
core. These he threw among the Princes,
mobiles, and people to be scrambled for,
but presented some by hand to the for
eigners, especially to the foreign
ladies' When he had ex-
hausted the contents of this bag he pro-
duced another containing nuts, which he
treated similarly. Each nut contained a
numbered ticket. with the name of the
prize, as kernel. The prizes were the
personal effects Of the deceased and were
distributed in this way TO be mementoes Of
him. Some of them were not bad, but
MANY were naturally distributed ludicrous-
ly. One of my friends, non-smoker, re-
ceved an old and much abused meerschaum
pipe, another an old cigar-holder and
very common Chinese wood axe. A French
lady of title received a mans shirt-front-
a thing commonly called Il "dickey;" also
an old pair of the dead mans long stock
ingS and an old white waistcoat, all much
the worse for wear. | myself received a
pretty little satinwood cabinet, and was
much pleased. | heard that some of the
prizes were costly articles of jewelry, but
did not see any such.

a MATHEMATICAL WASP.
How 1t Succeeded In Disposing of n Large

How 1t Succeeded In Disposing of n Large
White Bodied spider.
While sitting one summer day at the
side Of the house ON platform which
served as plaza, but was rooted only by
the branches of two large trees, something
dropped upon my head and rolled into my
lap, when | saw a large white-bodied spi-
der in the clutches of a small wasp, writes
correspondent of the Olgi. Hastily
brushing these unceremonious visitors on
to the floor watched to see if the wasp
would succeed in flying away with his
huge enemy.
After struggle the spider lay quiet,
and the wasp ran around selling first one
part, then another, but finally went away,
as l supposed for help. In about quart
er of an hour he returned, still alone, and
began trying again, as | thought, to find
some place by which he could seize the
round body and carry it away. Again he
departed without his spider.
This time | watched MIN and saw him
disappear at the edge of the lawn under a
pear tree, and, following, found him, after
some searching, diligently at work with
another wasp charging a hole in the
ground, having already thrown out quite
little mound of earth.
/ returned to the piazza, and soon, when
the wasp came back, | was convinced, by
more careful watching, that he was meas
uring each part of the SPIDERS body in
stead of trying to get hold of it. The an
tennp seemed to be the organs mostly en-
ployed in this operation. When he went
home again | was before him, and saw
him meet his co-wOrker, put his head close
to his, and evidently inform him that the
doorway was not vet big enough, for they
fell buSily at work enlarging it.
Then more measuring, more digging,
until after three long hours he returned,
this time with his friend and they carried
away their prey and bestowed it in their
underground home.

Turtles can be tanned and taught tricks.
A boy in Brookfield, Conn, had six OF
them in q tub filed from q well. He fed
them daily, and they soon became used to
the little fellows call. He kept q float
upon the surface Of the water, upon which
he placed food. Upon his call they would
in turn crawl upon the float and get NOR
sci Of food, and oftentimes take il from his
hand. He taught them to march around
the outside Of the tub, and each one took
the same place every time. They would
also 60 around the tub and carry q match
in their mouths. Unfortunately a mink
visited the tub and killed the turtles.

CONSUMPTION, Wasting Diseases, and
General Debility. Doctors disagree as to
the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and
Hypophosphites: the one supplying strength
and flesh, the other giving nerve power, and
acting as a tonic to the digestive and entire
system But in SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil with Hypophosphites the two are
combined, and the effect Is wonderful.
Thousands who have derived no permanent
benefit from other preparations have been
cured by this. SCOTS Emulsion is perfect
" palatable and is easily digested by those
who can not tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil.
